  Speaker 1: mild seventeen degrees.

  Speaker 2: This is til Talk.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: I'm Jay Lawrence.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: He's Key.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, let me do that again. I'm Jay Lawrence,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: no relation, I forgot to do that. Key, he's Key
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Ramsuran And this is the official podcast for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: In UK and Ireland. Ukkey, how are you you right?
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: I'm excellent and I like it being expanded to now
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Global Weather Reports.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: We need to make this bigger. I'm looking forward to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: doing South Africa next time. And now look, we're joined
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: on this episode from Duval County by Jaguars defensive lineman
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Travon Walker, first round pick by the Jaguars.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty two, we get the big.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Question from UK Jacks Van Francis, and look ahead to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: this week's home game with the Vikings off the back
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of another narrow defeat.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Again, Key, we don't need.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: To focus on that. Let's look forward. Let's look forward
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Vikings. And you know what, actually it's
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: quite interesting talking about the Vikings, I think this season
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: because who would have thought that this could be considered
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: one of the tougher games on the Jaguars schedule?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Key, I mean going in at the start of the season,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: certainly not. I looked at this this stretch and thought, yeah,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Packers could be tricky Eagles, tricky, Lions tricky. Yeah, wouldn't
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: have put the Vikings up there as one of those necessarily.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: But six and two, dude, they're performing well. It'll be
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: nice to see Cam Robinson playing again as well.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bit a couple of weeks.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I think, as well as he went there and got
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: game ball. Are you kidding? Came what happened when you
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: were with us?
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I think that what we need to focus on when
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it comes to Minnesota Vikings has got to be this
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: star wide receiver. I mean, we could talk about Sam
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Darnold and how this is like hopefully a fairy tale
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: story from his perspective, but their star wide receiver, justin Jefferson,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is gonna be difficult. I mean, not just the Jags,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: any team to stop him.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, whoever gets that assignment has got a tough day
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: ahead of them, man, because that that guy can play.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, he's good.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's been a tight games for
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars in the last few weeks as well.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Key yeah again.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Like I said last week, you know, if if this
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: was the first game of the season against the Eagles,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I'd be saying, look at all the positives. But it's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: not the first game of the season. But there were
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: there were some positives to take from that, I suppose,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it didn't didn't
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: happen then, But you need to build on that for
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the Vikings.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: So here's here's my positive that I'm taking from that
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Eagles game. Jay, is that the the tush push or
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the tush push I've heard it both ways may now
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: becoming a thing of the past because the Jags have
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: shown how to stop that, and thank goodness, we will
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: never have to hear that phrase again hopefully.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Can I say how amazing that is?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Though, really in a a team that the Jaguars have
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: had issues will really throughout the whole team at points
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: this season. But the one thing that has been consistent
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: over the last few years in the NFL has been
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that tush push play. Jalen Hurts getting that touchdown with
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: ease every single time. And the twenty twenty four Janguars
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: they're the team that not just stopped it at once, Key,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: they stopped it multiple times. They stopped Jalen Hurts multiple
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: times on fourth down.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so on Jaguars dot Com it's broken down to
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: show how they did it. So my hope is that
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: moving forwards, we hear the phrase tush push lesser, less
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: and less and lesser and brotherly shove as well.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Oh oh no, And well, what about one player who
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: definitely had an impactful play in that last game and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: we'll be looking to build on that in this next game,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Key, Ah, that was how special was that? And you
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: know it was like right on the line as to
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: whether it was a fumble or not, Ventrol Miller just
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: got enough of his body out of the weight to
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: make it a legit fumble. But Trayvon taking that back
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: into the house like, yeah, that was really really good.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's hear from him now, shall we. Keys
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: conversation with the former number one overall pick, Trayvon Walker.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Trayvon, thank you so much for joining us on Tall Talk.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: First things first, let's not dwell on Sunday's result. But
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: can we talk about that amazing moment for you taking
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: the ball into the house.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: How was that?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Man, In the moment, it was one of those things
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: to where in the moment it wasn't as exciting as
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: it was once I got to the sideline and actually
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: felt the energy from my teammates as well. But just
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: in that moment, it was one of those plays that
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: were as a defensive player, you see the bar on
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: the ground and at that moment, my instinct goes to
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: pick the ball up, and in that moment, my mind
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: just wanted to go score. I heard somebody in the
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: back seat go down, go down. In my head, I'm like, nah,
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: I thought that I can't do it. I'm trying to
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: help my team win. Then I absolutely score and then
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: they ruled it a touchdown. So once I got to
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: the sideline, that's when I really felt the energy.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Nice man, it was a beautiful moment, dude. How does
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: it feel balancing the emotions of that amazing personal moment
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: for you with a team loss. Is that hard to balance?
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: For sure?
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: Most definitely for me it's hard to balance just for
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: the simple fact of actually, I want to help my team.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: I want to do anything to help my team win
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: by any circumstances. But that's one of those moments, as
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: in first career touchdown, as being selfish just in a
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: split second. But then again also you don't get to
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: be able to have the full effect of it because
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: of the last as if if you were the one
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: you're the Parlament, I would have felt it a lot more.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: When we spoke to you in the summer, one of
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: the things you said to us was that, like one
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: of your personal goals is to get better and better
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: each day, and watching you on the field from the outside,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: that's what it it feels like. Does it feel like
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: that to you as well, that that's what you're achieving.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: I do feel it that sometimes, but sometimes I do
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: feel like I can be a lot better in certain situations.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: But yeah, like you said, for me personally, I do
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: want to get better one percent every day and I
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: can see that transition happening for me from my first
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: snap in NFL.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: To my latest snap again one win, one loss in
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: the UK. But you had some fantastic personal moments there.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: What was it like for you playing those two back
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: to back games over here this season?
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Like I always just coming to London and being able
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: to get a change of scenery from Jacksonville, things of
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: that nature, and being able to feel the culture out there.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: As far as sports, obviously football, American football is still
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: growing over there. You know, that's just one of those
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: ones that in that moment you really don't take advantage
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: of the opportunity or the environment that you're playing in.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: But that's one of those ones once you look back,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: you'll be like, man, that was really a great environment
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: to be a part of.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Give me some of your A couple of personal highlights
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: from this year is trip I.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Say one of my main ones.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: Obviously, I won't to say the sack against the Patriots,
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: just because of the moment that it came in. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: felt like it was very big for the team in
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: any situation like that, Like I said, I'm just trying
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: to help my team come out with a win, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: that's one of the ones that sticks out to me
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: the most as of right now. And then for the
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: last three years that I've been on the part of
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: the Jaguar, it's just always been the the aora of
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: the crowd, of the fans showing love.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: It's always excited feeling running out on the field.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: Out there.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Was one of the highlights. Not getting food from sushi.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Samba with sushi, some of.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: That definitely was a highlight as well, but you know
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: that's more so Josh Forte, I like, just Josh probably enjoyed.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: It a lot more than I did.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Nice. Nice, So last year I was at Wembley chatting
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: to your parents in the crowd, did you bring anyone
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: over with you this year?
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: My mom and dad they're always with me.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: As long as they don't have anything else going on
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: with the grandkids or anything of that nature, then they
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: always right up by my side.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: So that was with me again as well.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Nice And how is it performing in front of your parents?
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: What's that like? Do you feel pressure when you're doing
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: that or does it feel like it gives you a boost?
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: So crazy thing is when I was younger, I never
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: really had a choice. So when I was younger and
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: going to practice, I always kind of felt nervous because
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: my mom and Dad's always watching. But as I grew
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: up and grew older, got to like middle school, once
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: we start having closed practice. But even when they were
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: practice when I was younger, I just felt like I
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: had a chip on my shoulder to not go out
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: here and embarrass my parents, embarrass myself. I just always
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: wanted to be the best player I could be. Because
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: I knew my parents was right down the sideline watching them.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: I didn't want them to have to hear any feedback
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: from any other parents talking trash or whatever.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: So that just kind of helped me, help mold me
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: into the player that I am today.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: I just go out there and that's that's who I
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: do it for my parents, my nieces, and my sisters.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: When you're over in the UK, for some reason, on
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: this podcast, even though it's an NFL podcast, we seem
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: to talk about food an awful lot. So when you're
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: over here in the UK, is there any food that
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: you miss from the States that you wish we had
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: over here?
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, I wish there was American Deli everywhere in
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: the world. I'm not sure if you've heard of American
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Dealy is kind of a Southern thing. It's in Georgia.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: Nice the Wings, they're crazy, my big wings, guys. So
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: that's probably one of the restaurants that I would kind
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: of say I would want to see in London.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: How many wings can you get through in one setting.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: It just depends on It just depends on one of
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: my units.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: So after a game, I maybe could go for like twenty.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: I can do twenty easily, but like from really I
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: probably could do up to like thirty thirty.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Five thirty to thirty five rings. Let's go for wings
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: next time you're next time you're over man Vikings coming up.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: How are you feeling about that? As a team? Is
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Haw's preparation going and et cetera, et cetera.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Me personally, I'm feeling great. This is one of the ones.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: This is just where our back is against the wall
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: and we just have to rise to the occasion. As
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: a team, we know the obstacles that we face coming
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: into like as far as coming out of these last
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: couple of losses and what we want to get forward
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: to close to the end of the season, because the
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: season is going by pretty fast.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: It's already week ten. Yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Like me personally, I just feel like that's as a team,
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: we all know the intent to what we want to
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: be at the end of the season, and I still
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: don't feel like it's out of our reach at all.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: We just have to go out and dominate every week.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: Take one game at a time.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: That's it, man, That's it one hundred percent. Are you
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: surprised by the Vikings form at all, because at the
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: beginning of the season, I don't think I would have
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: thought they'd be six and two and one of the
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: biggest threats in the NFA.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: I mean I would have said surprised that. I'll just
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: for the simple fact that it's the NFL. Any any
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: team can be great at any moment. Like you said,
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: it's nl other of the guys out here a professional athlete,
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: So I wouldn't call anyone sorry or not capable of
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: doing their job. It's just the fact of being consistent
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: and putting it out together as a team, and I
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: feel like that's what they've done pretty good for most
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: of the season.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much for joining us man, I really
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: appreciate it and as always, will be rooting for you

  Speaker 1: going to have better ones than I do.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: The coolest story that I have about any of the
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: players I am not allowed to tell on this podcast,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: but I will say Ross mattersick on the tour when
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: we were in Dublin trying to split the G on
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: a pint of Guinness and having to go through several
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: pints of Guinness just because his level of competition was
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: that high that he had.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: To get it right.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: I was very entertaining.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: How many times did he try and was he successful?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I don't think I should say how many times he tried,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: but yes he was successful, But I don't think it
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: was down to skill at the end.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: When I went to Dublin recently, I was there with
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: someone who he doesn't even like Guinness, and he bought
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a Guinness just to try and split the G and failed,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and then just dindering the rest ten years.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Absolutely amazing.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I think that the other I swear that most of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: your stories actually revolve around Guinness. I swear key because
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I think that you've said before that, you've been, you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: been having a nice few few guinnesses with coaches from
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the Jackson were Jaguars before I.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Did, I had a pint of guinness with coach Heth Farwell,
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: which was he's such a lovely man, absolutely lovely man.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: And yes, there was a lot of splitting the gall
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: as well. I won't say how many attempts were made.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: So essentially we can get the impression here that his
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: favorite stories and tell about Jags players just revolve guinness.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: There's always around guinness.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Or can't be told on the podcast. I can't be
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: on the podcast forget that element.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that my I don't have anywhere
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: near as good stories, to be honest with you, I
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: think that. I think it's just nice to be able
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to meet the players. And actually what the best thing
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: actually about meeting the players is those moments before and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: after you interview them, because as much which is you
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: can have a really natural, fun conversation on camera when
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: they're when they're off camera, they're just guys. They're just guys, yeah,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you know, and that's why it's quite nice because you
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: get to like really just get their opinion on whatever
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: or just have a conversation and just realize, yeah, okay,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: these guys get paid a lot, they play a sport
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: that we adore, but at the end of the day,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: we're not.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: We're quite similar in a lot of ways, you know
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: what I mean?
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: One hundred percent. Shall I tell you one that was
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: really human, right, which was we were again? It was
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: on the play at all and it was everyone was
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: on a bus and I think it was from London
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: to Bristol. Everyone's you know, listening to music or watching
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: a film on their phone or whatever. Apart from one person.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: I looked over Foyerer Lucan was studying the playbook and
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: I thought that, right there sums up who that guy is,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: his ethos, his work, ethic, everything. I just thought, man,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: that is he's so dead did to what he does
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: for a living. I thought that was phenomenal seeing him
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: do that.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I love that. I love that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Francis tell us, well, first of all, you are, if
• 17:09

• 20:08
  Speaker 8: you again. It's such a good time, and I was
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: hoping it had come over and I was gonna start
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: shouting him. He did come over and he signed everyone's stuff,
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: and I was like, please sign this and that. That's like,
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: it's just everything's treasured in our house because they've sign it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: But it's a family thing, like we do it together,
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: Like we all go out. The oldest one's down as well,
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: we all go out and do stuff. So good family

  Speaker 7: Really, do you all.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Watch the games together as well as a family.
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: One hundred percent? So if my oldest isn't working.
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: He lives in Leeds and here wats the games and
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: he'd be texting us during the games. And then my wife,
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: she doesn't watch any spool by the way, she religiously.
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: On a Sunday, we sit down, we've got the Red
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: Zone on, We've got the Jazz game on, and.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: We just sit there and watch it. And then it's
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: just it's just my heart.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: That is so nice. I mean, that is just like
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a proper family activity. And that's kind of why it's
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: so nice for you can have the Jags be that
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: almost that bond between I mean obviously your family anyway,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, like that they're they're creating,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: creating family time.
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: Oh, definitely, it's the family time. It's not that when
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: we've gone.
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: My wife couldn't come to the first signing one, but
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: she come the second one with Josh Allen and Carl
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: Walker was there and fed Taylor. But obviously I know
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: a lot of people in the in the jack scene
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: and they will chatting to her and stuff, and then
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: she was enjoying being the key for three hours wait
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: get it signed. But obviously I've made a lot of
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: friends through the Jags as well. I think you've had
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: Jamie and the cast and other people as well. And
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: I've got a WhatsApp group of people. If I don't
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: understand how certain pain that's happened, I message him and
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: they have a plying back. Or if I want to
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: buy something, I'm like just card, okay, It's it's good
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: and I'm quite happy to communicate with us.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: There's proper a.
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: Nice family atmosphere, and I can't wait till next year
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: to go meet up with them a lot more than
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: meeting the players.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Again, isn't that nice? Key, isn't that nice?
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I love that so but that's that's what it feels
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: like when like when does watch parties or when there's
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: the signing events or open practice. That's what it feels
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: like because you're seeing a lot of the same faces
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: and you're having chats and like catching up, and yeah,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: that's what being a Jags fan in the UK is
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: about to me. It's like seeing all the same people.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Then it feels like you're meeting mates that you haven't
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: seen for a while because we're all from all over
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: the country, and then these events help us all catch up.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: It's really lovely.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: We need to talk about the next game, Francis against
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. We get a fan every single week
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to give us their prediction, So this is your job
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: this time. Guests have got three rights out of the lot. Okay,
• 22:37

• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Because I'm loyal, because I'm loyal.

  Speaker 1: What's your predictions for the score? Please put the Jags
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Vikings game, and I.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: Think they're struggle to go over fifteen points. We're going
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: to score thirty. Llawyance when Trevor Lawrence has got time
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: in the skyrocket, he's unbelievable.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: We can throw that ball.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: That is that is confident. I love it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: I love it, so thirty two fifteen, you're going, yeah, thirty.
• 23:07

• 23:20
  Speaker 8: idea about I'm still learning, but I do watch a
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: couple of your ones as well and stuff, and obviously
• 23:25

• 23:27
  Speaker 7: That helps. I appreciate that.

  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:38

• 23:40
  Speaker 4: isn't it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Lovely man, lovely man, lovely chain, lovely chain. And very
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: confident obviously about the game against the Vikings this weekend.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I did mention actually that the tally so far,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the rankings I'm on four fans are on three, Key
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: is we're at the bottom at two. I say, way
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: at the bottom. It's not actually that far off. What
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I do need to mention is that you predicted last
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: week there would be three hundred plus rushing yards okay,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: between the two teams, the final tally between both of them, oh,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety seven.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So what I said about the Toush bush earlier,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I might take that back now. Oh my goodness, three
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: years off.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Man, if they got both, If the Eagles got both
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: those toush bushes, you'd be uh, you'd have got both
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of that, when't you?
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Or if the Jags maybe got more than sixty something
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: yards sixty the way, Yeah, that would have been my preference.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Okay, let's move on to our predictions then, Key,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you can go first, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm going to stay loyal. I'm going to stay loyal.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go Jags win. I'm going to go
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: twenty four, twenty one, and I'm going to BTJ. One
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: handed catch, spectacular, one handed catch.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, over to you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Do you know what would be good about that? Actually,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: there's been a whole host of amazing catches in the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: NFL over the last couple of weeks. Why can't BTJ
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: get involved in that?
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: No?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Exactly, let's go with and you know last week, how
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I wasn't the I felt guilty because I said the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Eagles would win, and obviously the Eagles did win. I
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: wasn't happy about it, but the Eagles did win. I
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: feel more confident that the Jags can pull an upset
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: in this game than they could against the Eagles, because,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: let's face it, that first half against the Eagles wasn't good.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to say, I'm going to say a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: cool twenty one eighteen victory. Let's go with a walk
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: off touchdown because they nearly had it last week against
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the Eagles. Let's turn it all around and let's make
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: sure that the Jags can get it this time.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Oh dude, I really like that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: So confident bags, Yeah.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel feel more confident, feel more confident than
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: did last week. I wasn't feeling overly confident last week,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: but this week, I'm feeling confident.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I'm actually better this week, Jay, Is that what it is?
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: That's what it is.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just in a better mood, to be honest, in
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a better mood. I will I actually will not be
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: watching the game live because I'm going to be I'm
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: going to be in the US next week for this game,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: oh love, but not actually not in Jacksonville. I'm going
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: to Louisiana next week, so I won't be able to
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: watch the game, but I will be watching it. I'll
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: be watching it shortly afterwards, maybe TV there. I'm going
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to it. I've been asked, I'm going to a Saints game.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I've been invited to a Saints game, key, which is
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: nice ahead of the super Bowl. You see the head
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of the super Bowl, So I'm going to go over there.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: And then are you trying to scout some tickets for
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl?
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: Jay?
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: Is that what's happening.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: If it happens, it happens, I see, I'm onto you.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe Jacksonville will be there, hopefully. I did actually hear
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Tony Tony Vercelli on the commentary the other day. He
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: was saying there was less than a one percent chance
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: that the Jankuers might be in the playoffs. Tony, I
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: love it was just like, what sort of chance?
